 * The error means just that: the wp-blog-header file is NOT where it is supposed
   to be.
    (Actually, your whole WP installation is not where it is supposed to 
   be – I couldn’t find any file on that server)

 * HMMM, this is similar to my situation. Is there a way to check that all the WP
   files are in their proper places? I had done a fresh install – copied the WP 
   folder contents to my public_html folder, thought it would be ok. Any suggestions
   how to approach this very much appreciated
